Chapter 563: A Critical Moment
The generals of the Qin army here are all old wars, and as soon as Wei Bao said this, they naturally understood what he meant.
"General Wei, are you saying that the people of the Satsuma Domain are deliberately beating us unhurriedly, the purpose is to consume us." A Qin army general replied.
"Yes, their water source is in our hands. It's been two days, and I guess they're going to launch a general attack in the second half of the night. Is this deliberately consuming our spirit and strength in the first half of the night, waiting for the second half of the night to catch us off guard? Wei Bao looked at the battlefield and groaned.
"General Wei, we have to think of a plan?" The general of the Qin army hurriedly said.
Although Wei Bao saw the enemy's plan, he didn't have a good way. Pu Liang used this Yang strategy, the Qin army's weapons were excellent, and the terrain had an advantage, but the small number was a hard injury. Pu Liang grabbed them, which was equivalent to choking Qin Jun's throat.
Wei Bao pondered for a moment and said slowly: "In this way, with five hundred people as the base, everyone takes turns to rest, and each time resting for an hour. You can only rest for a maximum of 500 people at a time, and if there are too many people resting, it is difficult to ensure that the enemy army will not rush up in one fell swoop. ”
In a short time, 500 soldiers were drawn from the front. They originally thought that there was some important task for them to perform, but who knew that Wei Bao had sent a message to let them sleep, which really made their second monk scratch their heads.
"General Wei, what tasks are there for us to carry out." The soldiers of the Qin army looked excited.
Wei Bao looked at these soldiers and said coldly, "Now on, sleep." ”
Soldiers: "??? ”
Almost all of the soldiers are black-faced question marks, and this front line is fighting, and we were brought down just to let us sleep. There were gunshots and cannons outside, in this case, not to mention that I was asleep, but to hold the two girls in my arms, and I couldn't sleep.
"General Wei, the brothers on the front line are working hard, at this time, where do we have the heart to sleep?" A Qin soldier asked.
"The enemy will launch a general attack in the second half of the night, and you won't be able to survive the second half of the night. Everyone will take turns resting, and you are the first. For an hour, you can rest for only one hour. Remember, the more you sleep now, the more energetic you will be when the fight starts. Wei Bao said solemnly.
After listening to Wei Bao's words, the soldiers finally understood. At this time, they need to rest, otherwise it will be difficult to survive until the second half of the night. Even if you force yourself until the second half of the night, you will be tired and it will be difficult to be in good shape. If they lose their position because of this situation, then they will really die.
"Brothers, let's sleep. Don't pay attention to the gunfire outside, just think it's a girl singing to us. A Qin soldier smiled heartily.
"That's right, let's sleep." Another Qin soldier said.
I have to say that the military strength of the Qin army has developed very evenly under the leadership of Li Chen over the years. Whether it is the quality of soldiers, weapons and equipment, or commanders and fighters at the middle and lower levels, it can really be called all-round development.
Now, even a general like Wei Bao, who is inconspicuous in the Qin army, can be said to be quite good at commanding battles.
On the mountainside, the battlefield was constantly crackling with gunfire. Under the command of Putsuma Domain's Pura, it's still the same way I just rub outside, and I really don't go in.
This rub lasted four or five hours. Seeing that the moon had risen to the highest point and began to set from the highest point, the people of the Satsuma clan were still just rubbing outside.
In this case, the attacking Satsuma clan people are not in a hurry, and the defending Qin army is already in a hurry. The soldiers of the Qin army on the position almost shouted to the attacking Satsuma clansmen, you are rubbing like this, this night will be completely delayed.
Seeing that it was still two hours before dawn, the 10,000 soldiers hidden in the Satsuma domain under the mountain finally moved.
At the foot of the mountain, Pu Liang looked at a partial general beside him, and slowly asked, "How are our casualties?" ”
The partial general looked at the battlefield on the mountain and replied: "There is no real fighting, the casualties are not large, our total casualties are about 2,000, and the number of dead soldiers is less than 1,000." ”
This casualty is really not big, you must know that the previous battles were really heavy casualties. After the battles commanded by Purang, the Satsuma Domain lost tens of thousands of soldiers. In this way, the temptation of these few hours really did not have much casualties.
Looking at the hours and then at the battlefield, Kora began to give orders to the Satsuma clan soldiers behind him.
"Putte, you lead six thousand soldiers to attack head-on. Remember, you are not allowed to retreat without my orders. Regardless of casualties, no step back is allowed. Pu Liang said in a serious tone.
"Order." I saw a man with five big and three rough shouting.
Putt is Puliang's confidant, and this person is actually not very good at commanding wars. But he has one advantage, and that is obedience. Frontal charging is a job with no technical content, and Pryan asked Putt to go because he had no idea of his own, and he ordered him to fight to the death and not retreat, so he would naturally fight to the death.
"Phusi, you lead two thousand men to attack the left flank."
"Order."
"Puming, you lead two thousand men to attack the right flank."
"Order."
The large-scale mobilization of soldiers at the foot of the mountain quickly attracted the attention of the Qin army on the mountain, and the soldiers of the Qin army, who were resting in turn, quickly rose up and rushed to the front line to help.
Wei Bao looked at the soldiers of the Satsuma Domain at the foot of the mountain, and said in a deep voice: "The bloody battle is coming. ”
The old Qin people have never been afraid of battle, and they have died on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud has always belonged to the old Qin people.
On the mountainside, Wei Bao looked coldly at the bottom of the mountain, listening to the deafening shouts of killing in his ears. He said coldly to the herald beside him: "Inform the artillery, prepare to shoot." ”
Tens of thousands of well-nourished soldiers of the Qin army are ten times the difference in strength. It can be said that it has now reached the most critical time for the Qin army, and there is no need to keep hole cards at all. Artillery, this card that Wei Bao has kept in his hand for a long time, even if he used it before, he has always been picking and searching. But now it's different, if you don't fire the shells, I'm afraid there may not be a chance.
At the rear of the main position of the Qin army, this is the safest place for the entire position. Fifty shiny tiger squat cannons lined up in a row, like a tiger lying prone on the ground in the middle of the night, looked really imposing.
In the hands of the artillery brothers, these cannons were more precious than their daughters-in-law. After each shot, they had to wipe the cannon inside and out several times. I'm afraid that when my daughter-in-law takes a bath, my family has never done so much.
